From the Giant Shrimp announcement (my emphasis):

Long John Silver's has purchased an insurance policy to cover the anticipated cost of the free Giant Shrimp redemption, should NASA announce the discovery of conclusive evidence of an ocean on Mars between now and February 29, 2004. In the event NASA makes an official announcement that conclusive evidence of an ocean has been discovered on Mars prior to that date, every person in the U.S. will have an opportunity to obtain one free Giant Shrimp at participating Long John Silver's restaurants in the United States. Redemption will take place on Monday, March 15, 2004, from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. Additional information and offer details will be made available to consumers on the Long John Silver's web site and in press materials, should this event occur.

Get your plastic bibs ready folks, it's going to be a gorge fest!

Last night I committed the GroovyDispatcher to CVS for blojsom. This would allow you to use Groovy to develop your blog templates. I blogged about this in January, but in response to some activity on the Groovy mailing list, I committed the code. Now let's see, if I'm not mistaken, you can now develop templates for blojsom using JSPs, Velocity, FreeMarker, and now Groovy.

Mark has some ideas about what we might do as far as a GroovyPlugin in which you might possibly be able to write plugins "on the fly" say through the administration console. That's a scary but intriguing idea. So, it's maybe not something for a production environment, but what if ... what if your blog could also function as a mini IDE? <cold-shivvers-up-the-spine/>
